Do you have a cabin air filter?

    So, are you overiding the automatic controls and setting the fan speed to highest setting and temp to 60 defrees? What happens then? alos you may have a loose vacuum manifold hoses connection on the back of the heater control head. You have to pull it to see it and listen with a hose or stethescope. Finally, a guy on ebay from California fixes these for abut $150 for leaky solenoids.



    Also, run this test. report any codes.



    Electronic Automatic Temperature Control Module Self-Test


        The EATC module self-test will not detect concerns associated with data link messages like engine coolant temperature or vehicle speed signals. A NGS tester must be used to retrieve these concerns.
          The EATC module self-test will detect concerns in the system control functions and will display hard diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in addition to intermittent diagnostic trouble codes for concerns that occur during system operation. The vehicle interior temperature should be between 4°-32°C (40-90°F) when performing the self-test. If the temperatures are not within the specified ranges, false in-car temperature sensor DTCs will be displayed.
            The self-test can be initiated at any time. Normal operation of the system stops when the self-test is activated.
              To enter the self-test, press the OFF and FLOOR buttons simultaneously and then press the AUTOMATIC button within two seconds. The display will show a pulse tracer going around the center of the display window. The test may run as long as 30 seconds. Record all DTCs displayed.
                If any DTCs appear during the self-test, follow the diagnostics procedure given under ACTION for each DTC given.
                  If a condition exists but no DTCs appear during the self-test, refer to the Symptom Chart Condition: The EATC System Is Inoperative, Intermittent or Improper Operation.
                    To exit self-test and retain all intermittent DTCs, push the blue (cooler) button. The control will exit self-test, retain all intermittent diagnostic trouble codes and then turn OFF (display blank).
                      To exit the self-test and clear all DTCs, press the DEFROST button. The vacuum fluorescent display window will show 888 and all function symbols for one second. Then, the EATC control assembly will turn OFF (display blank) and all DTCs will be cleared.
                        Always exit the self-test before powering the system down (system turned OFF).
                          Intermittent DTCs will be deleted after 80 ignition switch ON cycles after the intermittent condition occurs.

Don't get any air from vents on 1998 Chevrolet astro van. Just replaced clutch fan. Air cond. works fine and fan works fine. Is something not connected?

SOUNDS LIKE THE AC CONTROL HAS LOST VACUUM FROM THE ENGINE, YOU MAY HAVE KNOCKED A HOSE OFF WHILE CHANGING THE FAN CLUTCH, IS THE AIR COMING OUT THE DEFROST VENTS BY CHANCE?

Smoke/Vapor coming from Air Vents

The whole dashboard of the vehicle will need to be disassembled, removal of stereo, temp controls, air vents, the dashboard will need to actually be pulled away from the front of the cabin, It is a very labor intensive repair.

My ac only works when i hit a huge bump and never again

I've had a similar problem. For me, the armature had some bad spots... or the bearings were going bad. So, I'd open the hood and tap the motor with a rubber mallet. Then, I'd reach through the open passenger window to feel if the air was coming from the vent. This would work very well until the blower motor finally went completely bad.

Very low air flow through vents despite the fan working well

It is very likely that the Air conditioner evaporator core is restricted due to leaves or some other object may be blocking air flow like a plastic bag, does it do this on both outside air and recirculation setting?
